How to draw EYEHOOK

By Linda Farmer, CZT ~ April 13th, 2012

The sewing enthusiasts among us will enjoy this fun and delicate tangle pattern.

Eyehook was created by Port St. Lucie, Florida, CZT® Debbie Perdue, “inspired by the hook and eyes in my sewing kit. Not that I am doing much sewing lately as my ‘need to tangle’ is all consuming.” Debbie recently contributed Drip-Drop to our tangle collection.

Eyehook is easy to draw and as Debbie shows us below it has a lot of potential for embellishment. At first I turned my tile 180° for each eye, but then realized that drawing them “sideways” was a simpler way to go.

Here are Debbie’s step-by-step instructions for drawing her tangle and two beautiful Zentangles showing ways to use Eyehook.

This is an absolutely BRILLIANT tangle! What a great idea/inspiration, using a hook/eye! LOVE it! I really like your variation of it too, Linda, up in the corner – simple but beautiful!
